Ah, I should have been more specific. The real data can have a variable number of elements. Thanks anyway.

    Well, be more specific. Show examples of the actual possible data, no pseudo-data that won't look like the actual data. Give us some test cases.

    Cheers,

      Okay: 

      Acrobatics, P/H, default(DX-6), page(B48)
Bicycling, P/E, default(DX-4, SK:Motorcycle), page(B48)
Breath Control, M/VH, page(B48)
Free Fall, P/A, default(DX-5, HT-5), page(B48)
Jumping, P/E, page(B48)
Parachuting, P/E, default(DX-4, IQ-6), page(B48)
Swimming, P/E, gives(=@max(@int(%Level/10), 1) to Swim), default(DX-4,
+ ST-5), page(B49)

      These being 4,4,3,4,3,4, and 5 elements respectively.
      The last one is a more complicated one, and the third element should be: gives(=@max(@int(%Level/10), 1) to Swim)
      There is no limit to how many function calls can be embeded (so func1(func2(func3(...funcN()...) )
